Description

POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE GASKET

PTFE Gasket (Polytetrafluoroethylene Gasket) is molded or skived or cut from virgin PTFE powder or compounds, sheets, rods, tube etc. It has the best chemical corrosion resistance among known plastics. Without being aging, lowest friction coefficient, wear resistance. The unloaded operating temperature range is -180~+260℃.

APPLICATION

PTFE offers a wide range of compounded products with good mechanical properties, electrical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance, low friction coefficient and good resistance to wear. They can be mostly used in valve seats, bearings, requested to resin sliding and chemicals, elastic band for unlubricated compressors. An extended range of improved mechanical and processing properties can be additionally reached by combination of virgin PTFE and different fillers.

Different combination offers a variety of different properties described in the following table.

Filler	Improved properties
Glass	Enhance wear resistance Chemical resistance
Graphite	Extremely low coefficient of friction Fairly good compressive strength Good wear resistance
Carbon	Good thermal resistance Resistance to deformation
Bronze	Enhanced compressive strength Good wear resistance High thermal conductivity
